Bei The Fish 'True Story' Wins February's Music Video

A stellar field of 16 new music videos fought it out in a highly viewed and voted contest last month, and the battle to win the title of Favorite Music Video for the month and the $100 cash was tight in every match.




But in the end, it was the unique electronic sound of a band from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia called Bei The Fish and an animated music video for their song 'True Story' that won the fans and judges hearts.

Fronted by lifelong musician Ognen Anastasovski with Gjorgjievski Nenad Tonkin, Valentina Minovska and Vladimir Nastevski completing the present line-up, Bei The Fish are a unique fusion of acoustic instruments and electronics with a distinctive air of their Mediterranean culture. A leading light of quality pop music in their homeland, Vest proclaimed that "We should be proud to have such a band representing the modern Macedonian music outside our borders".
